Fauls stretching routine produces acute gains in throwing shoulder mobility in collegiate baseball players
Article Abstract:
Several studies and researches are conducted to analyze the acute effects and gains of Fauls modified passive stretching routine in throwing shoulder mobility and range of motion (ROM) in collegiate baseball players. The results of the analysis prove that the stretching routine leads to a significant increase in the glenohumeral and shoulder complex internal and external rotation ROM, which in turn decreases the posterior shoulder tightness.

Duration of maintained hamstring ROM following termination of three stretching protocols
Article Abstract:
An analog inclinometer is employed to measure the active knee extension range of motion (AKE ROM) after the termination of three stretching protocols, which are contract-relax, agonist contract (CRAC), static stretch and active control stretch. The analysis shows that the stretching including static or active control techniques is highly useful in increasing and retaining ROM before a physical activity and hence is extremely essential.

Clinical measures of shoulder mobility in college water-polo players
Article Abstract:
A study to evaluate clinical measures of shoulder mobility in college water-polo players was conducted. The results revealed that the dominant shoulder demonstrated significantly greater external rotation and a significantly greater total arc of motion than the nondominant shoulder.
